| Anyone heard the Zu Cable "Druids".... I have a pair of Zu's now-discontinued Rune model, which I had upgraded in April to Druid Mk4 specs with the latest drivers, internal wiring and back plate. The cabinet design is the same for both models, but differed in the method of construction... | |
| 7/7 London I'm a little sorry to have unintentionally kicked the dust up, but remain convinced that our thoughts should be with Londoners and all other "free people" who may be subject to the atrocities of an exceedingly small minority of individuals who are... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Well, there you go, the X-Dream speaker system is aimed at the less than 2% of the audiophile community who can afford them. Makes perfect sense. Of course there are other $25k speakers out there, but Mr. Olson emphatically states that the DK's ar... | |
| Best Efficient versatile Speaker reaching 30Hz? I have the Zu Druid Mk4 (although they were originally the Rune model that I had upgraded). Efficiency is 101dB, frequency response 35Hz to 20kHz, 12 Ohm nominal impedance (8 minimum) , 10" proprietary woofer, augmented by a proprietary 1" supertw... | |
| Nightmare selling to Canada I've bought most of my current gear from the States and have not experienced any nightmares, unless you count the taxes, duties and/or brokerage fees. :-)I think Markphd was referring to the legality or lack thereof of purposely misdeclaring the v... | |
| Soundproofing We recently moved into a semi-detached and my better-half is disturbed by airborne and impact noise from next door. Long story short, we've had an engineer, an architect and a sound-proofing specialist inspect our unit and make recommendations. Ke... | |
| Is this ludicrous or not? Perhaps the reviewer's follow-up article (likely prompted by this thread) might shed some light on the matter: http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/connections/connections.html? YMMV.Max | |
| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R Just thought I'd add my 2 cents regarding the Druid speakers by Zu, which I own. Well, to be precise, I have a pair of their discontinued Rune model (same dimensions and much the same specs as the Druid, with different cabinet construction), which... | |
| Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim) Take a look at the Yamamoto here: http://www.venushifi.com/products/yamamoto_amplifiers.shtml. | |
| Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim) Well, I guess I love it, 'cause I'm awaiting delivery of a Yamamoto amp and preamp that involve a lot of resin-infused cherrywood in their chassis. The support feet on the amp are ebony! I like the aesthetics and hopefully the sonics will measure ... | |
| difference between 12AT7. 12AU7 and 12AX7 Tubes Based on a review I've read, one difference is the amount of gain each of these driver tubes provides. The Ray Samuels Emmeline II Stealth preamp will accept any of these tubes without any other adjustment, thereby altering the amount of gain prod... | |
| Argh Too Many Choices Hi Howard:Understood. I'm not terribly fluent in audiophile either, but get the gist of what you're saying.Thanks.Max | |
| Argh Too Many Choices Update on my stupidity. So I opened up the BC21.1 yesterday evening and found the gain switch. Doh! It was already set to the low-gain level. I tried it in the high-gain position and could barely move the volume control beyond the second click bef... | |
| Argh Too Many Choices Thanks to all who have responded so far.Hey Jeff, the room is about 12x24x9 and is most probably part of the problem with hardwood flooring and no area rug yet (still looking). Musical preferences include all kinds of jazz, some classical on FM, a... | |
| Not a ground loop hum??? Hi Newbee,Thanks for your response. That's correct, the hum is not audible when music is playing.Damn that tube! I don't know a lot about tubes, but I should have thought about the possibility of it being microphonic. Time for a new pair I guess.R... |
